Metalsmith Bundled Components

A Metalsmith plugin (v0.9.1, active development) that automatically discovers, orders, and bundles CSS/JS files from component-based architectures using esbuild. It scans directories for components, validates requirements, resolves CSS @imports, and produces minified bundles with tree shaking. Key differentiators: convention-over-configuration with sensible defaults, support for both ESM and CommonJS, PostCSS integration via esbuild plugins, and a validation system for component properties to catch configuration errors early. Requires Node >=18.0.0 and metalsmith ^2.5.0 as a peer dependency. Release cadence is irregular with several major feature updates in 2024.
